It's so cold that ....

.... my door locks froze a couple times in the past weeks
.... my wiper fluid wouldn't spray (I'm pretty sure I cleared all the ice out of there)
.... my tranny (I'm guessing that's what it is) whines loudly if it goes above 2000 rpm, unless I let the car warm up for at least 4 minutes or so.

How are you all and your Civics coping with the cold? I'm looking out my window now and seeing lots more snow coming down. Ughh... can't wait for the Spring!

I've got a winter car but I know how you feel, the frickin' ice on my windows would'nt come off the other day, it sucked. I had to wait about 25 min. so the car could thaw out.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, I keep mine garaged too. Although today I went out while it was snowing and I couldn't get up my driveway. My dad and my sister shoveled it and put down ice melter too. Still couldn't get up it. My car is outside now, here's how I left it...





I have this little bottle of anti-freeze crap that I can spray into key holes and onto mirrors. Those two things are the worst to take care of I think. I also bought a brush and ice scraper combination tool a while ago. It came in handy today. Haven't had any major complaints yet. I just bought some good windshield washer fluid too. I'll out it in when I use up the old stuff. Rated to -25 degrees instead of the usual -15, so it should be good. Plus it has RainX in it! Can't wait to try it out.

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] It looks sad and abandoned. I drove my car today to get home from work and the car didn't wanna go straight. As soon as I gave it a little gas, I'd start going to the right... what else would I expect from a torque monster like the 7thgen[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
